It ie remarkable how in connection with

able to attenaAo increning social duties,
inspect so many public institntiona, and
travel so extensively throughout the British
provinces and the United States as he did in
the cauparatively short term of years that,
he held office on this side of the water;
and in all but his political duties Lady
Dafferin was an ever constant and willing

"Monday, May 25—The Queen's birthda,y

dressed ourselves up, and at 11 arrived in

said engines were reviewed. The governor-

but the weather WU dreadful,and when I
came to give away the colors, it poured in
torrents, so that the feathers on my bonnet
stood on end, and I had to take my veil off
and throw it away.
"We left Ottawa June 6, and found our

"Monday, Aug. 12—At Sherbrooke a

I must mention one arch dedicated to me
made by the ladies. It had an enormous
Coronet of flowers surmounting it, with
' Welcome toour countess' on one side, and
'Kind hearts are better than coronets' on
the other. We drove with the crowd and
the torches surrounding us to Mr. Brooks'
